Welcome to our conference call. I'd like to begin by discussing the comparative results of the 3 months ended June 30, 2013 to June 30, 2012.

Revenues were up 9.5% to $91.2 million from $83.3 million. Revenues increased due to gains in market share in the new commercial, industrial, construction and replacement markets and the result of price increases introduced in May 2012 and April 2013.

Gross profit increased 31.1% to $27.7 million from $21.1 million. As a percentage of sales, gross profit was 30.3% in the quarter just ended compared to 25.3% in Q2 2012. The improvement in gross margins can be attributed to decreases in raw material costs and increased product prices.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 31.7% to $9.1 million from $6.9 million in 2012. As a percentage of sales, SG&A was 10.0% of total sales in the second quarter of 2013 and 8.3% in 2012. The increase in SG&A from the quarter ended June 30, 2012 was primarily due to higher profit sharing expense, warranty, sales taxes and employee compensation.

Income from operations increased 31.4% to $18.6 million or 20.4% of sales from $14.2 million or 17% of sales. Our effective tax rate increased to 36.12% from 34.2% in the second quarter of 2012. We expect the rate for the balance of the year to be approximately 34.5%.

Net income increased 30.4% to $12.1 million or 13.3% of sales from $9.3 million or 11.2% of sales. Diluted earnings per share was $0.33 per share versus $0.25 per share. Diluted earnings per share were based on 37,150,000 shares versus 37,092,000 shares in the same quarter a year ago.

The results of the 6 months ended June 30. Revenues were up 6.6% to $158.1 million from $148.3 million. Gross profit increased 24.2% to $43 million from $34.6 million. Gross profit as a percent of sales was 72% -- sorry, 27.2% for the 6 months of 2013 compared to 23.3% in 2012.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 24.7% to $16.1 million or 10.2% of sales during 2013 from $12.9 million or 8.7% of sales, primarily due to increases in profit sharing, warranty, stock-based compensation, employee benefits, professional fees, advertising and sales taxes.

Income from operations increased 24.0% to $27 million or 17.1% of sales from $21.8 million or 14.7% of sales.

Our effective tax rate was 29.5% compared with 36.2% in the second quarter of 2012 due to discrete benefits related to the research and development credit and the Indian employment credit. These federal credits were retroactively reinstated on January 2, 2013. No research and development credit or Indian employment credit benefits were recorded in the 6 months ended June 30, 2012.

Net income increased 38.9% to $19.3 million or 12.2% of sales from $13.9 million or 9.3% of sales.

Diluted earnings per share was $0.52 per share versus $0.37 per share. Diluted earnings per share were based on 37,056,000 shares versus 37,125,000 shares in the same period a year ago.

Moving to the balance sheet. We see that we have a working capital balance of $67.8 million. Our current asset ratio was approximately 2.3:1. Our capital expenditures were approximately $1.9 million. Shareholder equity per diluted share is $4.11 at June 30, 2013 versus $3.73 at December 31, 2012. We paid cash dividends of $3.7 million on July 2, 2013.

I'd now like to turn the call back over to Norm, who will discuss our results in further detail, along with the new products and the outlook for the remainder of the year.
